Democrats and the Pensions.

1t is always better to judge parties
by their actions than by their procla-
nations. The republican party has
always claimed, in season and out of
season, to be the single, steadfast and
devoted friend of the soldier man.
The records of the Pension Office do
not bear out this claim. Under demo-
cratic administration, while the Pen
sion Office is carried on at reduced ex-
pense. its operations have almost
doubled in efficiency. The soldiers are
getting the money voted for them by
Congress, the bulk of business in ar
re ars has been greatly diminished, and
order and efficiency are the rule.

The number Of internal revenue dis
tricts in Wisconsin is to be reduced
from four to two. The offices at Fond
du Lac and Sparta will be abolished,
while those at Milwaukee and Madison
will be continued There is to be gen
eral consolidation Of districts through
out the country, making a total reduc-
ton Of twenty-five districts. 1t will
be remembered that in 1884 President
Arthur issued an order which consOli-
dated the Madison and Sparta districts;
but the friends of Gen. Harnden and
Len Lottridge, who were the collectors
at that time, strongly objected to the
proposed reform, and both offices were
continued at their request. Now, how
ever, the government is administered
for the people generally, and not for
the sole benefit and behoof of the poll
ticans, and Wisconsin will have only
two districts, the first and second. In
regard to the general reduction of rev
enue districts, The Madison Democrat
says:
"Other changes will soon be made
which will insure still greater economy.
BY this honest, economic action, the
president has scored another victory
for both his party and himself, and
strengthened the already strong conf
dcnce in the administration. This,
and the many other similar acts, have
placed Mr.. Cleveland's denomination
and reelection beyond doubt, if he
maintains his life and health until
1888. They are arguments that can
not be refuted, and carry hundred
fold more weight than campaign
speeches and documents that so often
warp the truth to the point of break
ing

Democratic Fidelity and Efficiency.

Another evidence of the increasing
business prosperity of the country is
to be found in the report of the post
Office department. Postmaster-G General
Villas estimates that the deficit of his
department will not exceed S3,S73, 492,
and this will be the smallest deficit
for years. Notwithstanding the re-
duction in the rate of letter postage the
gap between the outlay and income of
the department is being steadily closed
up. This is another creditable proof
of democratic fidelity and efficiency
in Washington.

NPIIIIg IItIN NtTuDIIVHn
PostmaSter-G General Villas is to be
congratulated on bringing the postal de
ticiency for the year under 100000,
which is considerably less than the
appropriation. This arises from two
facts -watchful administration and
economical Expenditure on the one
hand. and increase of revenue from
other. The reduction to two cents is
expanding the popular resort to the
mails.
